Call For Papers
XIV MAGIS – Gorizia International Film Studies Spring School
Gorizia, 9-14 March 2016
Bodifications: Mapping the Body in Media Cultures
From the 2016 edition onwards, the MAGIS – Gorizia International Film Studies Spring School will promote a long-term research project dedicated to the historical transformations of the body in media cultures. This project is based on the premise that the epistemological understanding of the body has been changing in the Western World starting from the second half of the 19th century at least. The body-mind opposition that has traditionally informed Western thought has been challenged: no longer discarded as a mere "vessel" for the mind – therefore irrelevant, or even "dangerous", to reason (Grosz 1994) – the body has started to be considered as the very condition through which we access the knowledge of the world. In a phenomenological perspective, the body is in fact the vehicle through which our own experience of the world come into being: in other words, it is 'our general means of having a world' (Merleau-Ponty [1945] 2012, 146). The body is therefore conceived as an object of the world and as point of view on the world, a space from which exteriority is established and through which interiority is constructed at the same time (Fabbri and Marrone 2001). Moreover, the definition of the body as a biologically predetermined entity, characterized by ahistorical and fixed features, has been challenged by, amongst other things, the two following ideas. Firstly, the idea that the body is a discursive construct, informed by a complex series of regulatory norms and power relations (Mauss [1936] 1973; Foucault [1976] 1979). Secondly, the idea the body and its evolution have been influenced by technology, seen as a co-evolutionary partner of the human being, and thus capable of modifying the biological determinations of the body itself (Leroi-Gourhan 1993). In this sense, 'behaviours, morphologies, and even physiologies are the outcome of a set of processes through which every society acts on the bodies, this way literally constructing them' (Borgna 2005, VI).
According to this epistemological perspective, the body is therefore seen as a fundamental vector (and "filter") of knowledge and as a bio-political and techno-cultural artefact in which different ideological and material tensions meet and collide. In the late modernity, this perception of the body has reached its full development, while at the same time being rearticulated by further cultural processes, such as significant changes in the economic structures, the atomization of social agencies, the political and theoretical action of social movements, and the possibilities offered by scientific and technological innovation. In this context, the body becomes a reflexive entity, the object of options and choices, a sort of individual project aimed at the redefinition of the self and of identity (Giddens 1991; Bauman 1999). This paradigm of the "body-as-project" has developed in at least two different (though closely interrelated) directions. On the one hand, the human body (as conceived in modern humanist thought) has been reconceptualised as an "obsolete" object whose senses and capabilities need to be enhanced and whose limits need to be overcome. During the last decades, in fact, different social discourses and practices – such as those produced by body art, plastic surgery, bodybuilding, cyber punk, etc. – have all worked towards the definition of a post-human and post-organic body, freed (at least in part) from biological constraints and limitations (e.g. Halberstam and Livingston 1995; Stelarc 1994). On the other, the body is perceived as a "political" project aimed at manifesting and (re)defining specific social values and lifestyles. It is in fact primarily through their work on the body that individuals construct and affirm their identities in order to find their place (and recognition) in the social world. Of course, this body-project is at the crossroad of several contradictions and tensions: as also stated by feminist, queer, and race studies, individual strategies of self-construction through the body must always engage in a process of negotiation with (or against) the system of meanings employed by the social order to make sense of the body itself (e.g. Butler 1993; Pitts-Taylor 2003; Kaw 1997).
Moreover, the transformations of the body (and of its relationship with the mind) in contemporary technological landscape do not only affect the body as an object of study, but also concern the observing subject (Black 2014). The Humanities are now facing a gradual relocation of forms and places of knowledge construction, thus undergoing a drastic change in their theoretical framework. Many scholars in the field have now left behind an out-dated "Vitruvian" attitude, as they find themselves involved in 'endlessly ramified networks', in which they constantly rework their fluid identities and environments, they 'construct, and [are] constructed', recognizing themselves as 'spatially extended cyborg[s]' (Mitchell 2003, 39). Contemporary media relationships in fact '[place] scholars in an extended network that combines minds, bodies, machines, and institutional practices, and [lay] bare the fiction that scholars are disembodied intellectuals who labor only with the mind' (Burgess and Hamming 2011). Therefore, a project dedicated to the synchronic and diachronic study of the body in (contemporary) media cultures should also investigate the ways in which this object is framed, analysed, understood, and disseminated by an interdisciplinary and "stratified" scientific community that is embedded in the very same technological and cognitive relations it aims to describe.
The research project promoted by the MAGIS – Gorizia International Film Studies Spring School investigates the role performed by the media in this complex scenario where the body and its cultural perception are constantly transformed and redefined. We aim to address the following issues: 1. The function of media representations in the social (re)definition of the body; that is, the ways in which media texts and discourses produce repertories, iconographies, images, perceptions, models, and meanings that influence the construction of the body and its transformations; 2. The role of media technologies in the physical transformation and enhancement of the body; that is, the ways in which the intersection of body and technology contributes to overcome the biological, neurological, and psychological limits of the (human) body; 3. The role of media technologies in the epistemological reconceptualization of the body as a cultural and scientific object during the last two centuries, and their influence on the concurrent transformation of the observing subject – from external and "detached" to embodied and embedded in the object itself. Drawing on their own specific disciplinary interests and methodological perspectives, the five sections of the School – Post-Cinema, Porn Studies, Visual Arts, Media Archaeology, and Film Heritage – will focus on different configurations of the body:
Post Cinema. The digital/post-organic body
This section investigates the status of the body in the realm of new media, with particular attention to videogames, transmedia platforms, social networks, and other Internet features. The main focus of the 2016 edition will be on the processes through which new technological devices develop the condition of immersiveness, and how this condition affects the uses of the body. We invite proposals on: 1. The strategies through which specific technological devices (such as Virtual Reality headsets, Smart Glasses, Augmented Reality games and applications, etc.) create immersiveness; 2. How immersiveness impacts on the relationship between subjectivity, politics, and power, and on the definition of the borders between human and not human, organic and post-organic; 3. How immersiveness shapes contemporary non-linear narratives and interactive storytelling. 3. The developments of spectatorship in the digital age, and more specifically the ways in which new forms of media consumption engage the body of the viewer; 5. The ways in which the body itself is represented and addressed by new media texts and products (webseries, YouTube videos, grassroots productions, 3D and high definition cinema, videogames, etc.).
Porn Studies. The pornographic/sexualized body
According to Linda Williams's classic definition, pornography can be described as a "body genre", that is as a film genre essentially aimed at eliciting bodily reactions in the viewer through the "spectacle" of bodily excess. More recent studies have further developed this idea, starting to investigate the social production of the pornographic body and the affective relationships between pornography and its audiences. On this basis, the section aims to address the following topics: typologies and morphologies of the pornographic body; articulations of the pornographic body in terms of gender, ethnicity, age, ability, and class; pornographic sub-genres, body types, and the pleasures of categorization; sexual hyperbole, excess, and the grotesque in the pornographic body; porn as standardization and porn as subversion of the body; porn star bodies as (cultural) commodities; industrial and social constraints in the construction of performers' bodies; medicalization of the pornographic body; ways of engaging the viewer: body affects, feelings, and visceral reactions.
Visual Arts. The artistic/performative body
In recent times, the long-standing tradition of Performance Art seems to be changing its course: several artists are turning their attention back to the "outside world", using their own bodies (as well as the bodies of the audience) as tools to create aesthetic evolutions or even socio-political transformations. Therefore, the Visual Arts section aims to investigate the human body as a transforming factor and a subject of mutation, capable of activating processes of change in contemporary media cultures. The section invites scholars and researchers to explore: 1. The ways in which artistic performances attempt to involve the spectator as a "relational" subject (as Nicolas Bourriaud would say), taking into account performance as well as video art and other audio-visual productions; 2. The strategies and techniques with which these artistic performances engage both the artist and the viewer's bodies, also considering the possibilities offered by digital technologies and online networks.
Film Heritage. The body and shape of film history: forms of presentation
For its 2016 edition, the section will organize interactive workshops in which former, current, and future ways of (and dispositifs for) presenting film history will be discussed. The digital turn within humanities has increased the interest in e-research and e-presentation, opening up new possibilities for presenting the "body" and the "artefacts" of film history. In this context, growing communities are building new collaborative environments, characterized by interactive access, re-uses, shared tools, and a combination of different archival resources. A similar ethos informs and strengthens the strategies enacted by museums and theatres in the organization of exhibitions aimed at preserving "original" presentations and creating haptic (or archaeological) relationships with films and related materials. In this case as well, the form of presentation defines the content and corpus of what is understood as film history. In order to understand present and future ways of presentation, the section will extensively investigate the "historical" ones, with the aim of building bridges and (re)discovering common issues among former, current, and future forms of presentation. The section is organized by the University of Udine – La Camera Ottica, CineGraph/Hamburg, University of Applied Sciences Potsdam & University of Potsdam (European Media Studies).
Media Archaeology. The archaeological/technological body
This brand new section of the MAGIS Spring School is devoted to the multifaceted scholarly approach that goes under the label of Media Archaeology. Drawing on the outcomes of the XXI Udine Filmforum Conference "At the Borders of (Film) History", in the next few years this section will undertake a project dedicated to the archaeology of the "technological body" – i.e. the body as constructed by technology – in the analog era. This edition will be focused on the body produced by non-theatrical films and videos. More specifically, we will investigate how film and video technologies have contributed to establish "interrelationships" in the non-theatrical realm, in terms of social identities, technological "gestures", cognitive processes, and environments. Based on these premises, we invite proposals on: 1. Non-theatrical films and videos as the "material ground" through which cultural discourses and human agency have constructed social identities; 2. How the human body has incorporated technology and how technology has moulded new bodily frameworks, in particular taking into account the non-theatrical realm; 3. How this technological embodiment has created new ways of perceiving and thinking; 4. How the technological body shaped by non-theatrical films and videos has interacted with its own environment, modifying and technologizing its inner structures.
The organizers invite single papers and panel proposals
Deadline for proposals: November 15, 2015
Authors will be notified by November 30, 2015 if their proposals have been accepted.
Proposals should not exceed one page in length. Please make sure to attach a short CV (10 lines max).

Udine-Gorizia, March 9-14
XXIII Udine International Film Studies Conference
A History of Cinema without Names II: A Research Project
Gorizia, 9-10 March
During the last twenty years, the Udine Conference has promoted a new research perspective on the notions of film authorship, style, and genre, with the aim of rearticulating their theoretical definition. Drawing on these past experiences, in 2014 the Conference has launched a project entitled "History of Cinema Without Names", whose first scientific outcomes have been presented at its 2015 edition. This edition has been characterized by a great variety of proposals and approaches, and by a rich and lively debate among the participants, with the result of consistently broadening the scope of the project itself. Alongside the issues of film authorship, style, and genre, the next developments of the research will in fact encompass (and problematize) all the categories, processes, and methods that shape and enable cinema history and the cinema-object itself. Many of the scholars and institutions involved in the 2015 Conference have established a permanent international network divided in several independent working groups, which will present their research outcomes at the 2016 edition of the Conference. Each group is now carrying out a specific research task in accordance with the project guidelines, the main objects of inquiry being: problems of authorship in early cinema and non-institutional cinema; the role of technological innovation in the production and "manipulation" of (moving) images; quantitative analysis as a new tool for film history; topology of cinema; a possible history of performative forms and visual motifs. The next edition of Udine Conference will therefore represent a second step in the implementation of the "History of Cinema without Names" project. Merging together the methodological frameworks and research results developed by the different working groups, the 2016 Conference intends to promote and test a collective theoretical model.

A/N: Something fun (: Also, the chapters in this story will probably be shorter than I usually am—I dunno, I recently decided I liked shorter chapters more.
Disclaimer: Not mine!
Chapter One
"Freddie, it's just one tick bath—"
"No," Freddie said firmly, crossing his arms over his chest. His mother gave him a pathetic, helpless look.
"At least wear the under—"
"NO." Another uncomfortable pause. Lately, this had been the norm at the Benson household. Freddie's mom may have promised to 'lay off' the protective crap, but she never promised that it would be easy. Freddie continued to stare her down, willing her to say one more thing. And of course, she would. This had been routine for weeks. In Marissa Benson's eyes, the longer she persisted and the more she annoyed him about it, the faster he would cave. In Freddie Benson's eyes, the more she persisted, the faster he got pissed off and left. And leave he would—just one more thing, he thought, I dare you.
"How about a prune pop?"
Ah, there it was. The final straw. Freddie didn't say a word—he spun on his heel and stormed out of the apartment while his mother called, "Freddie! Don't leave! Freddie! Your inhaler!"
He didn't even have asthma. With a grunt and a roll of his brown eyes, Freddie strode across the hallway and knocked on the door to the Shay's apartment. He knew his mom wouldn't follow him here—she'd done it once, and the result hadn't been pretty.
"Come in!" Spencer shouted. Freddie twisted the handle and slid into the apartment. Spencer was working on a sculpture—that was a sculpture, right? It kind of just looked like a cardboard box…that Spencer was currently spray-painting purple.
"Hey Spencer," Freddie murmured, standing in front of the television.
"Hey Fred-o, how goes it?"
"Not good. Mom's driving me nuts."
"What else is new? Carly's not home, she's having lunch with granddad."
"That's okay, I have some technical changes I needed to make anyways," He lied easily. He could put in a movie or something upstairs—Carly couldn't eat lunch forever.
"Alright, good luck with your nerd stuff."
"Good luck with your artsy stuff."
Freddie trotted up the stairs, taking them two at a time, and turned the handle to the studio. As soon as the door closed behind him, he heard a distinct sniffle sound from a bean bag chair. He hesitated before he called out.
The person in the chair stiffened and turned around very slowly. Her wild blonde hair was stuck to her cheeks where clear tears had trailed down them. Her enchanting blue, blue eyes were rimmed with red, and Freddie started to panic. Still, Sam stared at him innocently as if he'd been here all along, as if he'd seen her cry before—which he most certainly hadn't.
"Freddie?" She wondered. Her voice sounded weak and far away.
"Sam," He whispered back.
A/N: More to come, of course! Just pausing it here. I'll probably update later today. Review puhleaseee, I know it's not the greatest, but I'm working on it. Shlove you guys (:

Enemies Foreign And Domestic review in GUNS Magazine, November 2005 A stadium massacre leads to the banning of all semi-automatic rifles, the teaser on the jacket reads. But who really fired the fatal shots, and why? The answer, we learn, involves nothing less than a modern day Reichstag fire, engineered and instigated by an evil and ambitious ATF supervisor and his squad of violent agency misfits. The political fallout of the stadium shooting is a national ban on assault weapons. With free rein to create more domestic terror incidents, and with unprincipled politicians and a complicit media, gun owners are easily demonized as a manipulated public demands more security. All Brad Fallon wanted to do was restore his vintage sailboat, Guajira, take his savings from three years of working the ANWR oil fields, and cruise the world. He hadn't counted on his interest and proficiency in shooting being used to entrap him, or being ultimately forced into covert rebellion against rogue federal agents. But back a man into a corner with other men -- all proficient in modern weaponry, and all unbending believers in liberty -- make it clear that you mean to destroy them, and a most dangerous type of resistance is born: a competent one. Author Matthew Bracken has written a thrilling first novel (did I mention this is also a passionate love story?), one that engages, grips and doesn t let up. He avoids the proselytizing that can plague the liberty genre, and delivers a solid, exciting tale with deep and believable characters. Bracken's background with UDT and SEAL Teams, and as the designer/builder of a cutter that he soloed from Panama to Guam, adds credibility to the technical and tactical details he weaves into the plot. I can't wait for the sequel, scheduled for release early in 2006. David Codrea, GUNS Magazine --GUNS Magazine, November 2005
John Ross' review of Enemies Foreign And Domestic I have several complaints about most thriller novelists. First, their protagonists are too often 100% virtuous with no humanizing flaws. Second, the protagonists let their enemies live when you KNOW the bad guys are going to come back and murder their kids etc. Third, everything the government does (hi-tech weapons, military & police tactics, criminal investigations, etc.) functions flawlessly. Fourth, too many stories have all the brilliant thinking and brave actions done by government employees (Special Forces, policemen, Intelligence operatives, etc.) Lastly, some novels have a basic premise that is just not believable. (Clancy's RAINBOW SIX is a prime example.) Novelist Matthew Bracken has avoided these sins almost entirely in his excellent debut novel ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. It is a challenge for any writer to come up with a plot that is at once plausible enough to have the reader accept it but also unlikely enough that it has not actually happened yet in real life. EFAD's dramatic concept is this: Wally Malvone, a lone mid-level ATF executive, engineers (with one accomplice) a long-range shooting into a football stadium and successfully arranges for an addled, destitute veteran to take the blame and be killed in the process. Malvone does this because he needs an emergency that will encourage the President to embrace a plan he has put together: Forming a secret "hit squad" comprised of overaggressive ATF agents with disciplinary problems. This squad's duty is to be proactive: identify domestic terrorists ("militia members") and kill them during raids. The trial is in the media, when the cameras see the (planted) contraband retrieved from the slain terrorist's dwelling. Malvone wants to have this hit squad for the obvious reasons: funding, power, and prestige. Naturally, some of the victims drawn into Malvone's web of treachery decide they have no choice but to fight back. At each point in the storyline, as the good guys and bad guys acted and reacted, I kept asking myself if what was happening was plausible. How would *I* rewrite it to make it more believable? In some cases I thought that I would have had the parties react a bit differently, but I had to admit my alternate scenario was not necessarily more likely. The fact is that when you get into the realm of serious, institutionalized government abuse of power in an environment with lots of resourceful, angry, well-armed people and the near-instant information flow of the Internet, you're in uncharted waters. One critic said the female lead was an adolescent fantasy (21 years old, beautiful, motorcycle rider, expert shot, virgin) and I would have given her more edginess, but hey, a lot of readers like their heroes untainted. Anyway, EFAD is an action-packed read, with most of the skill and creativity being demonstrated by the private sector, which is IMO 100% realistic. Send a copy to your favorite Senator or Congressman... EFAD is also good inspiration for me to get back to work on DETOUR, the sequel to UC. No promises, except there should be something in it to offend just about everyone.

Review Links
The Druid, the hunter, his apprentice: sex, power and transformation...what else?
"Mother or no mother, I had to restrain her overbearing needs of love by erecting a protective barrier to keep her out of my way." Cedric
"Please, Hunter, take that…beast away," Newlyn implored, looking wide-eyed at me.
"Only if you tell the truth, puppy," Rory contended softly.

"Tall, short, thin, fat, blond or dark-haired, it made no difference to me since all I really." wondered about was their sex.
There's a hidden treasure inside everyone. Some show it, but only a few can afford it. Sometimes, you only need to know how to manage other's treasures, even if self-destructive. But in the end, it's like seeing yourself in a mirror. So how to explain the violence?
"Silly me, I'd forgotten tonight was All Hallows Eve, the night devoted to ghosts, spirits, elves, gnomes and whatever evil creatures had the yearning to have some fun at the human's expenses." Cedric

Review Snippets
"If you are looking for a dark fantasy book with a large dose of suspense and erotic play, then Bloody Passion is certainly the book for you. I look forward to reading more from Laura Tolomei." DDR rated it 4 ½ Divas
"Bloody Passion by Laura Tolomei was a dark story full of magic and bloody dreams that can take you to the edge of sanity. I loved it! Laura keeps you at the edge of your seat trying to stay one step ahead of the characters in her book." BBB rated it 4.5 Tombstones
"There are a lot of emotions, sex (m/m – m/m/m – m/m/m/f), quests, and sensuality in Bloody Passion for me to go into detail, so I will just say; I honestly loved this story, far more than I thought I would. Laura Tolomei has created a diamond in the ruff, well worth experiencing for yourself. The only thing is we will have to wait for a sequel. (pout). Thank you, Laura, for the intense pleasure and sweltering heat you have given me by reading your book. I look forward to any of your stories in the future." Amy Ramsey's Reviews

Access $20 B Reserve tickets to the unforgettable theatrical experience Big The Musical. The classic '80s Tom Hanks motion picture bursts onto the stage in this production. Josh Baskin is sick of being an awkward kid. At a carnival, he makes a wish to the Zoltar machine to become 'big'. To his shock, his wish is granted. After an understandably awkward beginning, Josh is forced to do 'adult' things like getting a job and a girlfriend. In the end he discovers there's much more to being an adult than he's bargained for, and learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own time. Featuring a witty, moving, and insightful book by John Weidman (Assassins, Pacific Overtures) and a heartfelt, contemporary score by David Shire and Richard Maltby, Jr. (Baby, Closer Than Ever), Big is the perfect show for audiences of all ages.VIEW OFFER

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter via ProFootballTalk.com, the Philadelphia Eagles almost acquired Colin Kaepernick in a trade with the 49ers that would have sent a second round pick to San Francisco prior to the 2012 NFL draft.
Because Alex Smith had a strong year in 2011, after Kaepernick had been drafted, the 49ers reportedly were willing to move him. Schefter says the Eagles backed out because they believed they could get Wilson — a player "whom they geared their whole draft around."
The Seahawks intervened, picking Wilson 13 spots before the Eagles were on the clock in round three.
Now the Eagles are stuck with Vick who's nearing the end of his career, while the Niners and Seahawks each have a franchise quarterback.

William Gaius
Bill Gaius lives and works in the American Southwest with his lifetime lover and wife (who happen to be the same person). Retired from a life in science, he operates a small business while writing erotica, but he can't decide which is vocation and which is avocation. While faced with the same barriers to publication that all new authors face, he's made a study of the modern publication process. This was begun with his experience with old-fashioned ink-on-paper publication of his wife's local history book over a decade ago.
In 2010, Bill published two novels, The Ancestors of Star and Lessons at the Edge with femdomcave.com (UK), but has previously self-published the mainstream novel Anne the Healer. He has also assisted friends in the self-publication of their own works.

The Hidden Costs Of Independent Game Developmentby Nicholas.Greene
It should come as no great surprise that breaking into independent game development is no easy task. After all, you're trying to accomplish something which is ordinarily left to massive corporations employing teams of artists, designers, and programmers. You're trying to market a game without the aid of press agents or a PR department. It's going to be a long, hard - and probably expensive - road, but the destination is more than worth it...right?
Maybe not.
Stretching the 3D Printing Evolutionby ModernMarketing
We all know that 3D printing, or additive printing as some would call it, is the new in thing. For many of us who have seen the promo videos of the various brands and start ups that are rapidly filling up this space, the idea is both novel as it is borne out of common sense. But it is just the beginning. At the moment the 3D printer is merely an arm that sequentially lays heated plastic in layers.

I recently used
in my Fulton County research - they have an awesome number of tombstone pictures. Yes, FindaGrave has a lot of listings, but not always photographs - and sometimes the listings don't make a distinction between what is actually on the tombstone, and what is based on additional research.

Additional Location Information
The absolutely best location in Los Angeles, near the base of the Hollywood Hills in the actual city of West Hollywood. Los Angeles is a big big city but West Hollywood and Hollywood are like the West Village (NYC) of LA...in the heart of the fun part of the city where there is night life, great restaurants, lots of entertainment, clubs, movies, shopping. I've lived in Beverly Hill s (too old) Santa Monica (overcast), Westwood, West Los Angeles (more boring) and have been in this area over 10 years. I live 5 minutes away. Remodeled unit with modern kitchen with blonde wood floors and balcony and backyard with BBQ and landscaping and fruit tree. Whole Foods market nearby...walking distance to the director's guild. Across the street from the historic Spaulding Square. This is not a luxury property but it is an extremely good value for the area and amenities. There are many great reviews but not listed here...Inquire and I will direct you to them. Tandem parking is included. Bus 2 blocks away. Metro nearby. A car is important in Los Angeles but at least in this area, you could get by. Smoking OK on the balcony ONLY--with door closed. Smoking also OK in backyard.

Modeling of Wettability Alteration during Spontaneous Imbibition of Mutually Soluble Solvents in Mixed Wet Fractured Reservoirs - new
M. Chahardowli[1], H. Bruining[1]
[1]Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands
Mutually-soluble solvents can enhance oil recovery both in completely and partially water wet fractured reservoirs. When a strongly or partially water-wet matrix is surrounded by an immiscible wetting phase in the fracture, spontaneous imbibition is the most important production mechanism. Initially, the solvent moves with the imbibing brine into the core. However, upon contact with oil, as the ...

Laboratoire d'Etude des Matériaux en Milieu Agressif, LEMMA, Bat. Marie Curie, La Rochelle, France
To understand a metal susceptibility to Hydrogen Embrittlement (HE), it is important to quantify the diffusion of hydrogen through a metallic membrane. Electrochemical permeation tests are the most common methods for experimentally determining the diffusion coefficient of a metal. However the parameters directly accessible from experiments are the time required for a stream to be observed and ...
